Píseň: I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down

Interpret:
Elvis Costello
Album:
Get Happy!!
I'm the living result
I'm a man who's been hurt a little too much
And I've tasted the bitterness of my own tears
Sadness is all my lonely heart can feel


I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down


Simple though love is
Still it confused me
Why I'm not loved the way I should be
Now I've lived with heartaches
And I've roomed with fear
I've dealt with despair
And I've wrestled with tears


I can't stand up for falling down
I can't stand up for falling down


The vow that we made
You broke it in two
But that don't stop me from loving you


I can't stand up for falling down
